TVA DAM 7.TT

A transmission line from Rhymer's
! Ferry in Graham county has been
' strung into the dam site and work
was completeil on the project last
week. This line will furnish powei
' for the TVA project from the Nantahula
Lght and Power company, a subsidiary
of the Aluminum Company of
America, in Graham county. Abcui
250 men, mostly from Graham coun.
ty, were used on the project.
The dam site is accessible from
both sides of the river at present
A state highway is used down the
north side of the river to a point
two miles below Unaka where the

first started on the project, converts
ed a mountain trail into a crushed
rock-finished road over which TV A
and Codell company machinery was
hauled and workmen got to their j
jobs.
Bridge Is Aid To Work
Once the bridge, capable of supporting
C5 tons, was constructed across
the river, the principal access
road construction work quickly got
under way.
On this project it was necessary
to cut around and through the mountains
and to ford a number of
streams. Several bridges have alleady
been put in and at other places
it is necessary at present to detoui
around the creeks.
Many parties visit the dam site
each week-erd, it is said, and make
the drive over the river.
WPA forces in Murphy started
two v.*cel:s aro to put a crushed rock
finish on the Unaka road so it will
hold up all winter.
The route on the south side of the I
river to the dam site follows the '
Copperhill highway to what is known i
as the Shoal Creek road which runs 1
oil to the right. This unpaved but
good surfaced road runs into the (
principal access road about five miles
below Sui*. This marks about the
half way point between the extremities
of the principal access road.
LI " -.11
wuv-ui-inc-orUinary work is
anticipated at the dam site until the
J preliminary undertakings such as
building the road to the quarry;
erect irg house? on the town site and
roads are constructed.
This should be completed in the
spring, it is anticipated, and actual
work on the dam itself begun. Until
that time it is believed the TV A will
not hire any large additional number
of men.
Change of Scene
The scene at the dam site, 18 miles
below Murphy on the Hiawassee river
is totally different today from what
it was a little over two years ago
when engineers first came to Murphy
to look for the best site on this
